Bianchi was designated for assignment by the Red Sox exactly 10 days ago. He passed through waivers unclaimed and will remain in the organization as infield depth. Jun 25 - 1:35 PM

Red Sox designated INF Jeff Bianchi for assignment.

It's the second time in the last few weeks he's been removed from the 40-man roster. Bianchi declined an outright assignment the first time before eventually re-signing, but his days in the organization are surely over now. Jun 15 - 4:46 PM

He was removed from the 40-man roster three days ago and opted for free agency one day ago but now finds himself back in the majors. Bianchi offers Boston a solid glove at multiple positions. May 31 - 12:43 PM

Jeff Bianchi declined an assignment to Triple-A Pawtucket and became a free agent.

Bianchi was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Thursday. He'll take a look and see if anyone else needs a utilityman. May 30 - 4:07 PM

Dustin Pedroia will get a PRP injection for his strained right hamstring on Monday.

That comes with a shutdown period, which will probably push Pedroia's recovery time beyond 15 days. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday afternoon. Brock Holt figures to act as Boston's starting first baseman into mid-to-late August.

He hasn't played since being hit on the left forearm by a pitch on Thursday. Sandoval remains day-to-day and should have a shot to return Tuesday after Monday's off day. Travis Shaw is at third base Sunday.

Mookie Betts (concussion) is feeling much better and could resume baseball activities next weekend.

Betts was placed on the concussion DL on Wednesday, but Red Sox manager John Farrell said the outfielder's "headache disappeared... no dizziness." It sounds like he should be ready for activated not long after he's eligible.

The move clears a spot for Jean Machi on the 40-man roster and also rules Buchholz out until the early part of September. Of course, Buchholz estimated last week that he's likely about five or six weeks away from throwing off a mound as he recovers from a right flexor strain, so he's no sure thing to pitch again this season.

Red Sox placed RHP Rick Porcello on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 30, with right triceps inflammation.

Porcello began feeling soreness a day after he was ripped for six runs -- five earned -- and 10 hits in two-plus innings on Wednesday versus the White Sox. The Red Sox don't think it's a long-term issue, so he should rejoin the rotation later this month. Brian Johnson and Henry Owens are options to take his spot in the rotation.

Varvaro underwent season-ending elbow surgery on Tuesday. The right-hander posted an impressive 2.63 ERA, 1.079 WHIP, and 50/13 K/BB ratio in 54 2/3 innings last year for the Braves, but he had a mess of a 2015 campaign.
